Observability with GitOps

Welcome to a focused exploration of integrating observability into Kubernetes environments through the lens of GitOps practices. As cloud-native applications grow in complexity and scale, the ability to observe, understand, and react to their behavior becomes increasingly critical. This chapter is designed to bridge the gap between traditional operational methods and the dynamic, automated world of GitOps, offering a pathway to more resilient, responsive, and efficient systems.

At the heart of this journey is the fusion of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles with the GitOps framework. GitOps, a term that has rapidly gained traction in the DevOps community, leverages the power of Git as a single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications. By applying GitOps, we not only automate and streamline deployment processes but also enhance the observability and manageability of Kubernetes environments.
